Signage

Historical signs were used then as they are used today - to advertise and encourage people to enter commercial establishments. There have been many types, and, like archeological layers, reveal a particular time period of occupancy and use.

Whether a wall sign, a blade sign, on a window or on a door, some signs are not allowed in every zoning district.

The Sign Code and Permits pamphlet will give you an overview of key information and requirements for signs in downtown Astoria.
